A Slot-Array Chip-to-Waveguide Coupler

A coupler comprising a silicon substrate with one or more double slot radiators configured to transmit or receive an RF signal, a slot balun circuit configured to isolate the RF signal, and a grounded coplanar waveguide configured to propagate the RF signal in a horizontal direction. The coupler can be included on an integrated chip with a second coupler and the chip can be positioned over two waveguides such that each coupler is positioned within the center of each waveguide aperture.
